by: Sintilia Miecevole

Accessorizing your home is a very important aspect in the decorating process. You can add character and beauty to a home in many ways:

Look at your home and decide what theme you want to accomplish. Is it a contemporary, country, southwest, traditional or ethic style? Look in magazines, books or the internet to find accessories you would like. Have at least one piece you treasure in every room! Purchase accessories that go with the theme and color of your room. Color choices should compliment the main color in the room.

It is recommended to group your accessories in odd numbers. Different heights and textures are also attractive. For example, a night side table can have a lamp, picture frame and small pot of flowers as a grouping.

Entry ways should be uncluttered. This area of the home is the first hint at what the rest of your home is like. A side table with your most dramatic...

Five Accessories To Brighten Your Home

Five Accessories To Brighten Your Home

by: Dakota Caudilla

Home accessories come in all shapes, colors and sizes and there's an accessory for every room in your home. Finding creative ways to use pillows, lighting, mirrors, flowers and candles can make all the difference if you are feeling trapped in a dull home. Consider some of the following ideas for a quick makeover.

A pillow's decorative punch

Decorative pillows can add warmth, texture and dramatic accents to your home interior. Choose bright colors and bold patterns to add life to an otherwise boring couch or lounge chair. Add a colorful floral pattern to your stiff classical furniture to add a dash of the earth's warmth. Bold patterns always look dramatic against plain fabrics and surfaces.
